Termite Control & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are rather frequent within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Ramsgate annually. That is why termite control and treatment is so important.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Ramsgate; either the creation of a termite barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for additional information on the cost for termite management and treatment.

In Ramsgate, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

It’s important to first get a professional white ant exterminator come out to the building to fully evaluate the situation.

So you know you need termite control, and you’re looking for the most efficacious treatments that Ramsgate can offer?

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or places can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, the white ants can detect the gaps and gain access through them.

The most commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Environmentally Smart

How To Determine If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

These are the common signs you have termites:

• Holes in the drywall and wood
• Timber is disintegrating or damaged
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the house
• Obvious termite nests & mounds in trees near the dwelling
• Winged termites (or alates) can be seen swarming from the colony

Can A Colony Of Termites Really Damage My Dwelling?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of white ants is capable of causing quite a lot of damage to a structure. If the problem becomes severe enough, your dwelling may potentially become unlivable.
